Alejandro Kirk Hitting And Throwing
4 years agoToronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hip) has been hitting off a tee and throwing, but running will be the biggest hurdle that he'll need to clear. It was announced a week ago that Kirk was expected to miss around six weeks with a left hip flexor strain. While the 22-year-old backstop still has a ways to go before a return, it sounds like he's at least making some progress on the rehab front. Before his injury, Kirk was slashing just .225/.326/.475 with three home runs and eight RBI in 46 plate appearances over 17 games. Danny Jansen has been the primary backstop for Toronto in the wake of Kirk's injury, with Reese McGuire also helping to fill in behind the dish.
